EIA submitted for 1 GW Floating Wind farm in Scotland

Stromar Offshore Wind Farm Limited, a joint venture between Ørsted, BlueFloat Energy and Renantis, has successfully submitted its comprehensive EIA scoping and HRA screening reports for the 1 GW floating offshore wind energy project located approximately 50 km east of Wick, Scotland.

The reports are submitted to the Marine Directorate and Aberdeenshire Council outlining the plans for the development, addressing both onshore and offshore considerations and reflecting the company’s dedication to responsible development through strong environmental stewardship, community engagement, and maximizing the value for the Scottish economy. The HRA screening reports outline the key protected sites and species of relevance to the Stromar development area and present how impacts will be assessed in more detail at the next stage.

The wind facility will have the capacity to generate enough energy to power over 1 million homes each year. Once operational it will be one of the world’s largest floating offshore wind farms.
